The good news is I have lost some weight! I’m excited and hoping this trend continues. I think a big part of my problem is when I go up north I have drama and eat out a lot so being home for a few weeks may be a really good idea!

I know it’s only 2 pounds and it could be stress and just a bad week to weigh in. If you’re a women you get what I mean. We will see how next week goes.

Weight last week- 241lbs

Weight this week- 238lbs

Yes I lost weight! I even ate a huge pasta meal and all that fun stuff. I didn’t want to work out when I tried the pills because I wanted to see if they worked and it wasn’t a workout doing the job. Next week however I am going to start getting up early and working out. I have a friend that wants to lose weight for her wedding and I’m going to make her do it with me.

I’m excited as I was this weight last month, but as most people do I gained weight. Now I’m losing it. I’m really hoping that this year is the year I get under 200lbs. Wish me luck!

My goal weight next week- 235lbs

This year I lost some, gained some and lost it again, but my overall progress is good, though I really didn’t lose much overall. Even if I don’t lose 100 pounds this year, but I still stay on the same track I will still have less the 100 to lose next year. Again I would love to lose 100 in a year, but I don’t think it’s going to happen and that is why the title of this blog is not My Loss My Gain: My Quest to lose 100 pounds in a year, but just My Loss My Gain: My Quest to lose 100 pounds.

I have also changed my goal as I’ve lose weight. This year its changing to a more healthy range and will stay there for the rest of my journey.

Are you ready to see my overall weight loss for last two years… and a couple weeks this year!

Yes what you see above is a banner for my new business. Remember a few months ago when I did a review for It Works!? Well, I decided to start selling it as I knew it was a product I could get behind! So now not only do I blog, sell home decor items and go to school, I now sell wraps. I’m really excited about it because I can actually say this is an amazing product that works. Most health products you really can’t do that with, at least in my experience.

Now I’m hoping this will also help me keep up with this blog, if you have read this blog at any point in time you know that I use to do a weekly weigh in, I use to have a new years post and all that fun stuff. Well this year I’m been depressed, very very depressed so now that I’m out of that problem, I think the sun coming back out is helping, I’m going to try to do this again. My first weigh in of the year will be Friday. I will share my weight loss from last year to that point and all that fun stuff. I also love the timing because I’m going to start using a few of the It Works products too so you can follow my progress with those too!

Disclosure: I am now an It Works! consultant. All thoughts and opinions about the products are my own unless otherwise stated. All links to It Works point to my personal website where I make commission on items sold.

I’m not doing well, and that’s just the start. Money issues, stress and more OH MY! Yes, I know I really am not sure where I am going with anything, but I do figure that eventually I will either eat myself to death or get back on the ball. I’m really hoping it’s the latter as I would love to see summer and maybe even wear a bikini for the first time… Okay that probably won’t happen till next year anyway, but a girl can dream right?

So until then I will consider walking the dog, the is a small one in fact so really I’ll just be walking carrying the dog. Maybe that’s not such a good idea. I have some great Wii games and my step 360 I can use… maybe, just maybe I’ll chose one to do tomorrow.

Maybe if I do one day I can look like that!

I know for some that migraine symptoms can really affect everyday life. I’ve been lucky I only got migraines occasionally and now very rarely. I was talking with someone the other day who told me that their migraines actually affect their ability to work out an exercise. I could understand why they would believe that and I told them that may be what they need to do is talk with their doctor, and see if there is a way to treat the migraine so that they can work out and lose weight.

Over the last couple of days since this conversation I have wondered if this is a problem for other people. I know it affected me and I’ve rarely had migraines, at least compared to some people. So I asked a few more people I knew and they said the same thing. I’m happy to know it wasn’t just me and I know I still have to deal with this as I still get migraines. But I have found a few tips and tricks online get through the pain and hopefully continue pain free.

How do you deal with your migraines? Do they come on before or after a workout or do they just appear at random times of the day?

I think I’m doing pretty well, though I’m not exercising enough I am cutting down on how much I eat. I am hoping that I can start exercising again very soon as I know I need to exercise so that this can actually be beneficial and I could be healthy.

The good news is I didn’t gain weight. I’m surprised since I have to eat crap now, but it’s probably because my sugar is so high that I’m in the bad area where I get rid of my fat, but not in a good way. In other words I’m dying.

My weight last weigh in 242

My weight now 241

So I’m happy and depressed all at the same time. I don’t’ really want to move back since I will never find a job, but I can’t seem to make it here either. Everything is so expensive and I really have no help.

I did have an interview last week and hopefully I get the job, I’m waiting on my second interview right now. I need the job and the insurance that will go with it. I’m just hoping it’s not too late. I’m worried about money and school and so much more it’s just crazy. I’m trying to do what I can to get things back to normal, but its not working very well. I am going to try to get more out there on this blog. I feel that I am ignoring it and I don’t like it. I will do a weigh in post tomorrow and try to get back on track.
